Re: TWW post for Feb 1-7!

  • Yay I get to be here again! I finally ovulated yesterday Woo Hoo! I thinks its been about 2 months since I was sure it actually happened so Here I am 1 DPO, got the full 2 weeks ahead of me but happy to be hopeful again. I might test on Valentines day.

    I had some pretty uncomfortable ovulation tenderness/pain this month. Seems to have kicked up a notch in the last 6 months. Not sure if that's a bad thing or not. May be related to the D&C but who knows. Goes away as soon as I'm done ovulating though so today I feel good. Some breast tenderness but other than that nothing unusual. Trying to decide if I should stop drinking coffee during my TWW... but I really like my coffee ha ha. Maybe Ill just wait for a positive HCG test to quit that little vice ;)

    Good luck to everyone!
  • I hope this is the month @rspalding001 !  And Valentines Day would be  perfect day to find out!
    I am in my TWW, but unsure if I even ovulated (not temping). I am currently on CD24 and have no symptoms of AF.  I usually have sore boobs and crampy by now so I'm getting my hopes up like usual.  I will test by Friday!

  • Good luck to both of you @rspalding001 & @happyktmom !!!
    I'm not really in the running this month. I suppose some freak miracle could occur, but not likely. 

    I'm 7dpo according to FF. 
    I'll update soon about my fiancé's health. It's not looking up yet. More specialists and tests are in the works. I'm exhausted. This is exhausting.

  • I'm pretty sure I O'd yesterday(or today), so I'm excited to be in the 2WW.  I am sort of waiting on FF to confirm, but my sleep and temping haven't been great so I'm not sure what FF will think.  I'll probably test by 10 DPO - I'm terrible at waiting.  

    @rspalding001 - my ovulation pains are been quite painful.  It hasn't impacted my ovulation or pregnancy, other than being painful.  So I don't think it's  bad thing!  Good luck this month!

  • I tried using an OPK for the first time this month & think I just failed miserably. I used the CVS generic brand &  and never got a positive. However, I only tested once a day & now I've been reading that I will likely need to test several times a day to determine when my LH surge is. So I just ordered the Wondfo kit on Amazon - we'll see if I can figure it out! However based on CM, I think I am 3dpo. Am I correct that O usually occurs on the same day that EWCM appears? I've spent a long time researching this but haven't found any exact, clear answers for this.

    Good luck to everyone!!
  • @Kaessi  The Amazon Wondfo are great because they are so cheap you don't feel bad using a ton of them.  I have no idea about EWCM personally but from reading posts on here I get the feeling its not the best indicator of ovulation. Seems to be different for lots of people. Your best bet is to temp. If you dont want to temp the OPK will at least let you know when you have an LH surge and you can assume ovulation within 24 to 48 hours after that.
  • Thanks for the info @rspalding001! I haven't ventured into temping yet but I think that will be my next step. Any recommendations on a good BBT?
  • @Kaessi I dont temp either! Ha ha so no good advice on a BBT ;) sorry!
  • For some reason the thought of temping/charting completely stresses me out! I think because I know that I'm a bit OCD & once a start I'm pretty sure I will become COMPLETELY obsessed & I just don't think I want to be in that pace just yet!

  • 10dpo I'm laying in bed debating if I should get up and test or not. I never felt any symptoms with my first two so doubtful I would feel any this time. The last two days have been super emotional as my husband dropped a bomb on me and I actually told him if I wasn't pregnant then I wanted to stop trying.  We are working through it but takes time.  
  • Still waiting for AF!  My wondfo's expired in Sept. 2015 and reading a BFN.  I just bought some FRER's tonight. I really don't want to get my hopes up, I am totally losing it.

  • Tested on 11dpo, BFN. Tested this morning on AF day, BFN. No sign of AF at all, face hasn't broken out, not crampy. If still no sign tomorrow will purchase some different test kits. 
  • @Kaessi I use this one from amazon:

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000O6YCZY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

    I like it because it goes to two decimals and it saves the last reading.  I wake up most mornings between 5 and 5:30, even if I don't have to get up that early.  I just stick the thermometer in my mouth, wait for it to beep, and put it back on the night stand to check when I actually get up.

  • Thank you for the recommendation @amimhof - off to Amazon I go! :blush: 
  • Thanks @amimhof  ! I saved it to my list on Amazon too ;) if AF shows up this month Ill buy it.
